@ringedpheal I've started reading books in japanese lately, and it's crazy how they don't pretty much ever use dialog tags, whereas in english fiction it's ubiquitous
@suctioncup_garf The joke is that the LN illustration looks really goofy, so people made a bunch of ironic edits about how it actually had infinite aura, which a lot of people took seriously
@jegaevi Sadly, we are now in the era of AI translations, and the translated versions are often extremely inferior. Even a lot of supposedly human translations are being discretely outsourced to AI.
@AirinTV The MLM dudes are not the official, old american mahjong association. Those scammers are a whole different group trying to cash in on a growing trend. Like, yes, please critizise them, but there's no need to criticize the whole format based on one scammer gang.
@PaulBunyonJams@HikariTaiyo_ch Gacha games cause harm to vulnerable people. Gambling addiction ruins lives.
Not that I think gambling should be banned per se, it's just good to understand what you are engaging with. I play on mahjong soul too.
@HikariTaiyo_ch You seem to be confused. That org selling the 1k teacher things is not the official american mahjong org, it's just some mlm trying to cash in. The rule sheets are like 10 dollars or something and if you're playing with your friends there's no need to update them or anything.
@moth_ball_@TinyMitch33@BarryPierce Talking to it like a human is pretty crazy, but just the book recommendations themselves are whatever. A few months back I tried putting my whole goodreads history into claude and seeing what books it would recommend to me and the results were pretty good honestly.
@SabreBison@moriah_bridges@BarryPierce Do you think it's immoral to listen to a song because the spotify algo recommends it to you? Algorithm based recommendations are one of the best uses of AI.
@moth_ball_@TinyMitch33@BarryPierce Do you think people should stop listening to spotify's recommended songs too? Algorithm based recommendations are one of the better uses of AI.
@thecranesbill@TinyMitch33@BarryPierce The guy took pictures of the books at the store to feed the app the information. Like, sure, there's lots of reasons to feel wary about AI but this is one of the most innocuoususes I can think of. Do you think it's immoral to listen to a spotify song recommendation?
@aeolian550 The japanese version reads fine. "็ผใ้ใใฆๆๅใซ้ฃใณ่พผใใงใใใฎใฏใไบบๅทฅ็ใชๅฐ่ฑกใฎ็ฝใ่ผใใ ใฃใ"
TBH out of all the light novels I've read the re zero english translation is the one that loses the most sauce.
